A large Arctic whale with a massive, rounded head and no dorsal fin, known for living in ice-filled northern waters.
From 'bow' (rounded shape) plus 'head' (the front part of the body). The name describes the whale's distinctively curved, bulbous head shape.
Bowhead whales can live over 200 years—longer than almost any other animal on Earth—and some living today were alive during the American Civil War!
